3. My assumptions about unions and schools isn't just a salary issue. It is quite evident that public schools have their hands tied by union rules and are not able to always make the best choices to further the cause of education. Also, private schools are currently the beneficiary of government programs which inflate the cost of education. Government student loans have put a definite upward pressure on the cost of education, public or private. Schools do not operate as efficiently as possible to attract students with the government ready to step in and finance education.
